Is New Dawn worth the $10-20? I loved 4 and tolerated 5. I just want that type of game with more bright colors.

I still can't believe how bad 5's season pass was, it was advertised as totally off the wall poo poo and it was actually all garbage that they probably made in a month.

But that's most DLC content for any game. It's rarely worth playing if it's not a full expansion.

I wish they had the vietnam war dlc guns in the main game at launch. The available weapon pool in the main game was small (smaller than 4 i think) and it would have been fun to use the m16a1 or the ak variants instead of just the same railed up tactical ar15 variant that half the enemies and good guys all use. I was also disappointed by the dlc’s themselves, especially since I really enjoyed the yeti dlc in 4.

Hey BTW, New Dawn is a cool $5 on Epic with the coupon. Get the deluxe version to be eligible.

FC5’s guns generally felt the same anyway since enemies were way more fragile. Fast firing, slow firing, people dropped so fast it didn’t make a difference. Outside of like the M249, which just chewed ammo and kicked off target compared to the M60.

The kidnaping in 5 was truly loving terrible on every possible level. Who thought it was a good idea to interrupt my bass fishing so that Faith can drone on at me about fake friends. I am not breaking new ground by saying mechanically there was a lot to like about Far Cry 5 but writing was pure garbage and the kidnapping was worst of it. side_burned fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Jun 2, 2021 |

Have there been any interviews where the devs have given any insight into what they were thinking with the kidnappings in 5? I suspect it was an attempt to address how certain players are unable to pace themselves in a way they enjoy and end up burning out on open world games because they spend too much time on side content.

The kidnappings happened a whole 4 times throughout the game and were very predictable in when they happened. Acting like they made the game worse in any significant way seems absurd.

The mechanic of blow stuff up till meter fills, then climax mission plays as a follow-up mission is fine conceptually. I mean I was blowing up those corn silos to piss off that dude for a reason. Fishing never made those kidnap meters go up.

The Whitetail Mountains is especially bad with a character point blank telling Elli that the Rook is randomly disappearing, the Seeds are experts at brainwashing people and that makes the Rook a major security risk and his reward for ignoring the obvious is a gunshot to the face; its a text book example of an idiot story. side_burned fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Jun 4, 2021 |

I made that choice when I planted c4 on those bliss drums. Edit: what poster said. Kidnapping me to start the climax sequence of a zone isn't what made them bad. It was that they were written dumb and insultingly.

I wouldn’t have minded the kidnappings but each region has a couple of side quests that you get locked out of if you don’t do them before the bar fills up. I know I missed some before I realized this.

It totally loving sucked to be in co-op with a friend doing mindless quick missions while shooting the poo poo over discord only to get drugged and abducted into an unskippable cutscene followed by a mandatory "serious" mission. It somehow always happened when we were 10 minutes from wrapping up for the evening too so it was either end early or spend the last while not having fun.

And presented terribly, I know it's kind of the gimmick but having a character in a flat shot just exposit at you with pseudo intellectual bullshit is just the most boring way of telling your story. You gave us character customisation for some reason, make use of that and pull the camera out to third person in those sequences so you can structure them in an interesting way

Man, I'm really liking New Dawn so far. They did a great job with a lot of stuff but one thing I love is the attention to secondary and background animations. The scene where the Twins give the kid a live grenade was horrifying. So much that the kid pees his pants. I don't normally go for that but it sure is realistic.

Among other things, the progression structure that triggered kidnappings could cause a player to permanently skip/miss entire setpiece missions. They punished the player for exploring the open world of an open world game.

Specifically in this game, dawg lemmie tell you, you ain't missing much. I got in to FC5 later and did a plan to not miss those missibles. The majority of them are variations on exploding barrels.

I really did enjoy Far Cry 5 but it does belong in the same category of game the Borderlands 2 of being fun despite of its flaws. At least in the case of FC5 I know its the writing I hate where as BL2 is just a pile of bad everything that somehow balanced out into something good.

People hate on the Mars one but the zombie one takes a cute idea (bad horror movie pitches as setpiece action sequences) took out the best part of FC5's combat (being sneaky and tactical and rolling up on bases) and made it an absolutely terrible horde mode with bullet sponges and limited ammo. It was like anti-fun. The Vietnam one is almost better than the main game because it's like a miniature version of it with no bad monologues, and New Dawn is a huge improvement also. Is FC6 supposed to take place in the past or are they just gonna pretend the apocalypse didn't happen? I assumed like all other Ubi series they keep a loose canon running but destroying your setting is kind of limiting so I wonder if they address it at all.

oh yeah i guess he does but i thought that was just a character they thought was funny, i dont know that theres any more elaborate worldbuilding going on but then i avoid story poo poo in these games as much as possible anyway. it always seemed to me that each game was a sort of "fresh start" in a sense but maybe thats just because the changes between 1 and 2 and then 2 and 3 seemed so drastic i assumed that was the mentality, even though the gameplay stopped changing as much after 3
